printing labels and regular stationary
My office uses word 97 and windows 98 for our typist. We
dictate reports that then are typed onto 3x5 size labels. I recently switched my typist from a typewritter to a computer. I am trying to figure out how to have her type a report once for the label and be able to print it on the lable and regular stationary without cutting and pasting. In any given day multiple reports (up to 60) are dictated and need to be typed onto labels and regular stationary. Any help will be appreciated thanks |

One possibility -
Create a new document from the envelope/label wizard which will give you a table corresponding to your labels. Fill the labels, then save. Convert the table to text, separated by paragraphs, from the table menu which will take the data out of the table, then save as a new filename. You could probably record the conversion process as a macro. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org marcs wrote: My office uses word 97 and windows 98 for our typist.

Your reports must obviously reflect the elusive virtue of brevity. If you
want to avoid the simple solution of cutting and pasting I think you might consider creating a paper size for your 3x5 labels. Using Page Setup you can then switch page sizes within the same document so that you can print it on different sorts of paper. I assume that you would set up your formatting of the version for "stationery" so that it would match that of your 3x5 label since your report could not exceed the confines of 3x5 (actually a bit less since you must allow for margins (some of which are usually needed for printing). Setting this up as a template for your reports might be a good idea. "marcs" wrote in message ... My office uses word 97 and windows 98 for our typist.
